Elecrafter Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'm just starting out with a second hand Bradley. The pucks are expensive and I hope to make my own. I have been looking at sawdust online and have since been warned off as a lot comes from furniture makers, and could possibly contain MDF or other woods. So today, I thought what about a whiskey barrel and then shave it down with an electric plane. Its an idea... What does the team think?

Icefever Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Won't it be a lot of work for the return?? I don't know if there are after market pucks? Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elecrafter Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Bradley pucks run for 20 mins, and cost a minimum of 33p each, and up to 50p each, so £1 or more per hour smoke as a minimum. I'm just your typical tightarse!! I'm retired so time is available. Electric plane and some starch, a bit of pipe and a vlamp to compress them. The theory is good and proved, its the cost or quality of the wood thats the problem. Edited September 10, 2020 by Elecrafter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaza the Instructor Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 You have been talking to Mash to much and he is the only man I have met who can peel an Orange in his pocket, with Boxing Gloves on in 30 seconds flat.😁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 You need to talk to James at https://www.smokewoodshack.com/. Tell @Smokewood you are on Woodsmoke Forum and he will advise you of the best sawdust to buy for your pellets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
